I picked this book up, and can't review it yet as I haven't read it all but I'm really enjoying it!

Don't let the updated naff cover put you off. The book is a 'proper' historical account, which was written before the ITV drama (which is good, but rather 'trashy' in style).

I've read a lot about Victorian society, they were such a fascinating turning point to the life we lead now. Mr Selfridge was a forward thinking Victorian man, who helped transform our highstreet and the retail experience we now enjoy.
